I have owned my chickens for a few months now and I have been lucky. They have been healthy and happy up until now. I have one chicken who is having a problem. I can't tell if she is injured or sick. She holds her left leg out to the side which makes me think she is injured but she had green diarrea whick makes me think she is sick. She could have a couple of things going on. I had to separate her from the other girls. They were attacking her.
I have called around to several vets and I have been shocked by the cost of care. It is alot more expensive than for dogs and cats. It seems to be blatant opportunism to charge more for a chicken simply because there are less chicken vets around. I feel that the vets are taking advantage of my feelings for my pets to overcharge. Brass tax.....it costs $72.50 for an office visit plus any perscribed trestment would be additional costs.
So Forum....what do other peoples vets charge for chicken care ?
PS. Any advice about my chicken's symptoms.
